    Classic Burger with Chili Fries.
    Chris L.

    I got the classic burger with cheese. The veggies tasted fresh, and crisp with a soft bun. The burger patty itself was okay. Nothing really unique about the burger, and was okay. I also got the chili fries. Again the fries were okay, but the chili they have is not the traditional chili I'm accustomed to. It almost tasted like it had a Asian twist or spice to it. They also have shakes but didn't get to try. Seating is plentiful; parking is good. They do make the food fresh, and didn't take long to get the food out. I'm not sure if I was expecting a more authentic experience being it's called "Way Back" hoping to have old school dining experience, but definitely didn't feel like the classic burger places I've dined at. However, to get your burger craving satisfied, this would do the job.

    Burgers patties were moist enough without making a mess.  Good beef flavor.

    I have never eaten at a Wayback Burger before today. It seemed a "little" upscale for this kind of place. Similar to a Mooya Burger or Five Guys without the peanuts. It seemed very clean. I had heard some negatives about the fries, so I chose the tater tots. For a tater tots, they were perfection. Nicely crispy on the outside without being over cooked, while still maintaining a softness inside. I chose the A1 Burger. The 2 patties were vary flavorful. The kind of flavor that comes from good beef and fat, but not so much fat that it winds up leaking down your arm while eating it. Just enough to keep it moist and full of flavor, but not enough to soak your bun to oblivion. The fried onions were a very nice touch. If I found one shortfall, it would be that I really didn't get much taste of A1 sauce. It was kind of hard to know it was even there. The guy behind the counter was helpful in answering my questions about their fries. I wouldn't classify it so much as friendly, but as very helpful all the same. More so than many employees would have been. I would have to say this was a good experience, and yes I would recommend them.

    Double back on cheese burger

    I had to repair a flat tire at the nearby tire shop in Frisco and walked to see what was available to eat. I ran into Wayback Burgers. My first time at this place. I learned that they are under new management and they are doing it right. The burgers were delicious! the buns are not your typical bun and the taste is like buying from one of those old school burgers joints that don't compare to the run of the mill big chain-burgers places. The size was perfect. The double bacon did the job. place is clean and the people friendly. I highly recommend.

    We could not have had a better experience, especially for a first visit. Of note, there was an "Under New Management" sign in the window. As we were on our maiden visit, it is fair to say these types of notices always make me wonder. I'd skimmed some of the reviews, and perhaps those out there who made be scared off by some of the older reviews that conveyed poor experiences may want to take note. The first thing I noticed when we entered, and this is just a design flaw, is that you have to come in from the side and with the opaque dividers the crew member at the counter cannot see you. You also do not get a good look at the menu board until you navigate around. All that said, once we were in view, we were promptly greeted by a very friendly young man. He took our order efficiently. He answered a couple of questions in the most polite manner. In addition to regular drink options, they have two agua frescas and two lemondaes, I believe. We each chose an agua fresca and waited for our order. I have to compliment the quality of the burgers and sides. I ordered the A1 burger with fried pickles & my wife got the Bacon cheeseburger with cheese curds. TOP NOTCH! The food came out at the right temperature, and it was properly seasoned. The burgers were super-tender (not tough like they'd been cooked from frozen). All in all, it was a terrific experience, and we will most definitely return. It's a bit more of a drive than we usually make for a quick dinner, but it was so worth it that I'm willing to drive Preston Road on a Saturday evening. That says a lot!

    If not too hungry get their burger deal which is drink, side and only one beef patty. Plenty for us. Too bad beverage machine not working otherwise could have gotten 5 stars.

    Classic burger

    First time here. The food was hot and made to order. They have kids options that are hearty and not some sorry excuse for kids food. Probably one of the cleanest places I've been to in a while. We didn't get ice because it looked like the ice machine was moldy. The original burger was delicious. Too much mustard and ketchup for my taste but that's a preference. The game was on so the tv was ENTIRELY too loud. Again that's a preference I'm sure Cowboy fans were happy it was on. Overall would come here again! Staff was incredibly nice.

Exceptional value for the quality. SAS Verdict: Approved. CraftWay punches well above its weight. The server alone is worth the visit.

During my recent visit, Fanny was absolutely amazing -- incredibly sweet, attentive, and welcoming from start to finish. Her customer service truly elevated the experience. My go-to order is always the mini elk tacos with flour tortillas, and of course the mac and cheese, but this time I tried the queso and chips and it was divine -- rich, flavorful, and honestly one of the best I've had in a while. I paired everything with a Ranch Water and had such a relaxing evening. I returned again on Memorial Day and although the third floor was closed, the second-floor experience was just as exceptional. Lauren -- the one with the long dark hair -- was incredibly kind, warm, and attentive. Ask for Lauren if you visit. She provided genuine hospitality and made the experience feel personal and welcoming. 10/10 every single time. Whether you live in Plano or you're simply visiting the area, Haywire is absolutely worth experiencing for yourself.

There's plenty of seating inside, and the space feels open and comfortable. They also have tons of patio seating, which would be perfect on a nice evening. The interior has a rustic-industrial vibe, with a warm accent wall and touches like the decorative bureau that make the space feel thoughtfully designed. For dinner, we ordered the lime-marinated steak with rice and the citrus-grilled salmon. We subbed the sides for the broccoli salad and roasted vegetables, and everything came out quickly and piping hot. The flavors were fresh, well-seasoned, and absolutely delicious.

Our waiter Ruben was probably the best server we've had in years. He knew the food and drinks inside and out, he anticipated our needs and magically showed up with refills before I even knew I needed one. He told us about things on the menu and the restaurant and the services they offer. He was a guide without ever being pushy, he was always there with whatever we needed but was never hovering. Nice kid! I rarely talk to the managers unless something is seriously wrong. In this case I called Tom over to compliment how great the place is. We told him it was our first time in and that the only reason we hadn't been in before was it looked a bit expensive. He did mention they just came up with pick-a-pair for lunch at $14.95. Normally this means skimpy half-portions of stuff but not here. I was in the mood for bacon so I went for the BLT Salad & BLT Sandwich. The dressing was made in house and wonderfully garlicky without being overpowering. The tomatoes were juicy and flavorful, the bread was grilled to perfection, and even the arugula was delicious (and I hate arugula/rocket). My wife got the club with fruit salad as her side. Ruben said they cut the fruit daily. My wife doesn't like strawberries nor pineapple so I got bonus fruit on my salad. She only at half because Firebirds has a crème brûlée cheesecake and we had to split that. While we were there, a nearby table was celebrating and a bunch of waitstaff came out with shakers and martini glasses and poured everyone drinks. Fun and classy at the same time. We joined the loyalty club. No having to check in nor track points, they just send you discounts and free stuff in your birthday. The Jr. Chef club members get a free TShirt, a sundae on your birthday, a kitchen grill tours-makes me wish I was 10. Diverse staff, all happy to be working there, all focused on making sure the customers are happy. I wish I had come sooner, this is my new favorite place!
